I would also suggest stocking up on an EXTRA LARGE supply of patience pills!
You said it, Jess!

Many thanks Jesse

Apoxie Sculpt is what I use, and my originals are never destroyed in the mold making process. It's my favorite medium of all the things I've sculpted in.

My new Iron Man is in Apoxie, and I can't say I've ever been happier with the way it's turning out.

Rats! Then this Mr. Fantastic would cost me a fortune!
